From the Black Mountain, by
the side of the ditch leading towards Szentbékkálla flows the water
of the Bocskor Well. To the south the water filtering through the
cracks of the dolomit rocks beneath the lakes emerges to the surface
as an abounding spring. This is the spring or well of the Old
Mountain.
The text of the plaquet on the well is the following:
„The watering place of the biggest and most significant vineyards of
Szentbékkálla has always been cherished. The pure drinking-water of
this abundant spring has been protected with a booth built of basalt
rocks by the vineyard-owners of the winegrowers’ associations”. The
old notice of the well – a warning against the pollution of the
water, which promises fines for the lawbreakers - is an example for
the responsibility of the association regarding the protection of
life-saving water. Similar wells are to be found also in other
vineyards of the National Park.
